Andre Dunoyer de Segonzac Palette 2

Palette Analysis

Andre Dunoyer de Segonzac sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Heat pervades this palette; warm chromatic identities outweigh cool ones at almost every weight.

Only 2.6% is devoted to #A88156, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 61 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. This is palette 2 of Andre Dunoyer de Segonzac's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
